Kinsale Just Hit Its Lowest P/E Ever (2026 Q1 Update)
KNSL (update): Q1 GWP -0.5% (1st ever decline) but EPS +27.4%, diluted EPS $4.88. Combined ratio 77.4%, underwriting income +40.1% to $94.5M, ROE 22.9%. Commercial Property -28.3% on competition; ex-Property GWP +6%. Centralized ops, proprietary tech, 10-20pt expense advantage vs peers = durable moat. Trading lowest fwd P/E ever; growth normalizing but discipline intact. Investing income benefiting from 4.5% yield (vs 2.5% '21-'22). Book value/share $85.3 (+25.6%).
